Ayu Dipta Kirana (Karin)

Sonobudoyo Museum, Yogyakarta

Karin holds a Masters degree in Anthropology from Universitas Gadjah Mada. Karin is currently the Archaeological and Ethnographic Collection Manager at the Sonobudoyo Museum Yogyakarta. Karin's most recent museum project was an exhibition about the historical development of the silver industry in Yogyakarta. This exhibition is quite special for her because it was held in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. With many considerations, this temporary exhibition was carefully planned by reducing the number of collections so that the space is not too full and implementing strict health protocols for visitors. This was the first time that Karin has created an exhibition with the adaptation of new habits. By participating in the AIM Project, Karin hopes to contribute fresh views on collection research studies and curatorial development in the future.
